I sighed lightly. I was still inferior to Ma Ji. It seemed that I would have to save Jing Ni first before plotting the next step.
I pushed Mai Qi away and planned to walk out.
“Where are we going? Isn’t this place quite nice? This place can fit even another one hundred people.” Mr. Li walked in with a small box in his hand. Jing Tian followed behind him.
I heaved a sigh of relief. Ma Ji stared at the box in Mister Li’s hand. Her expression changed, and she was bewildered. Mister Li didn’t look at her. He walked directly to me. “My dear, can’t you save me some trouble? I was just brewing the medicine. It’s for your beauty treatment. Sigh! It almost spoiled.”
I felt relieved and couldn’t help but smile. Jing Tian strode over and embraced me in his arms. He kissed me lightly on my forehead without saying anything. I sensed Jing Tian’s nervousness. I raised my head and smiled at him. He was afraid that we would be separated again.
I introduced her to Mr. Li. “Sir, this is Ma Ji, the person you are trying so hard to find.”
Mr. Li looked excited and nodded. “I’ve found her at last!”
Ma Ji stared at the small box in Mr. Li’s hand in disbelief.
Mr. Li toyed with the box. “What’s wrong? Do you feel something?”
Ma Ji cried out, “Who… Who are you?” her voice was filled with fear.
Mr. Li said cheerfully, “I’m your nemesis!”
As he spoke, Mr. Li reached out his hand and opened the lid of the box.

“Ah…” Ma Ji suddenly cried out in pain and knelt down on the ground.
Mr. Li held the box with one hand and held the index and middle fingers of his other hand together. He pointed at the small box while muttering something. Ma Ji rolled on the ground and cried out in pain. She didn’t forget to raise her head to look at me. “Nanxing –“
I didn’t understand. “What’s going on?” I asked Jing Tian in a low voice
Jing Tian didn’t try to hide it. He said calmly in a voice that even Ma Ji could hear, “The box contains the worms which were in your body. They’re biting back at her now because she’s their master.”
Mai Qi looked at Ma Ji and asked with lingering fear, “What… what is this? It’s so scary.”
Jing Tian sneered, “This is karma. Being bitten by her own poison is the best lesson for her.”
Ma Ji rolled on the ground, her four limbs twitching. She looked like a big spider. Mai Qi and I couldn’t help but hold each other’s hands. This scene was too shocking.
When Mr. Li finally stopped, Ma Ji collapsed weakly on the ground. Her mouth was full of saliva, and her eyes were half-opened. Her hair was already wet with sweat. Mr. Li closed the lid of the box and sat on a chair at the side. Only then did I realize that he was also drenched in sweat.

For a moment, everyone was silent. One could only hear light or heavy breathing sounds.
After a long while, Mr. Li slowly opened his mouth. There was a hint of exhaustion and desolation in his voice. “According to ancestral teachings, you are not allowed to use witchcraft to harm others; you are not allowed to use poison to gain personal benefits. Anyone who disobeys will be hunted down and killed. Ma Ji, do you still remember them? I am the 83rd Generation Witch Hunter of the Witch Doctor clan. According to our clan rules, we have to provide evidence before hunting a witch so that we wouldn’t kill an innocent. I think we already have the proof. The worms recognize you as their master. They should go back to you.”
After Mr. Li finished speaking, the two black dots in the box flew out with a whoosh. They flew in the air and landed on Ma Ji’s face before quickly crawling into her mouth.
Ma Ji jumped up and reached out to scratch her throat, wanting to spit out the two worms.
Mr. Li sneered, “Idiot! Do you think you can get them out? Do you think you have Nanxing’s luck?”
